AeroHippus Flow-Vu - Equine Aerosol Chamber Manual

INTENDED USE

The AeroHippus* Chamber is intended to be used along with a metered dose inhaler to deliver aerosol medication to your horse's lungs as prescribed by your veterinarian.

BEFORE USE

The AeroHippus* Chamber can be used directly out-of-package. Ensure these instructions and the instructions supplied with the inhaler have been read. Carefully examine the chamber and replace immediately if any defect is noticed.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove cap and shake the inhaler immediately before use as per the instructions supplied with it.
   
2. Insert the inhaler into the backpiece of the AeroHippus* Chamber and gently apply the mask over one nostril. Do NOT cover the other nostril as this will make it harder for your horse to breathe normally.
   
3. Press the inhaler to release the medication when the Flow-Vu* Inhalation Indicator is moving toward your horse. Hold the mask in place for 3-5 breaths as the horse inhales the medicine.
   

TIPS AND TRICKS:

1. Slowly introduce the AeroHippus* Chamber. Start with the mask only, getting your horse used to the feel of it.
2. Reward your horse with treats before and / or after treatment.
3. If your horse does not respond well to the sound of the inhaler, depress the inhaler behind your back before bringing the AeroHippus* Chamber forward and placing mask over horse's nostril.

Notes:

• Use the Flow-Vu* Inhalation Indicator to ensure a good seal, coordinate pressing the inhaler with inhalation and to count the number of breaths taken. The Flow-Vu* Indicator moves toward your horse as they inhale and only moves if there is a proper seal.
• Administer one (1) puff at a time. Follow instructions supplied by your veterinarian on the number of puffs to take and how long to wait before repeating.
• Wipe your horse's face with a damp cloth after treatment to remove medication residue.
